We usually go to a park with power, but occasionally we dry camp and plan to do so this April at a really nice location at 6,000-7,000'. The gen loses enough power at that altitude requiring a bit of help by turning the water heater and fridge to gas depending on the combined electrical draw. I think this hard start capacitor might be the ticket if we need the AC (which I doubt we will until later in the summer).

BTW, I see that Costco has the Yamaha engine, Smarter Tools 2000W gens in stock again. My two with parallel cable continue to work well. Just did an oil change yesterday.
